Whose news? Your news!

One of the things we love about SWON events is the chance to talk to
you, face to face. You share stories of what you’ve been doing at your
branch. Or you ask a question or make a request. Often these
conversations happen in passing, but however they happen, they’re very
influential.

We pass these ideas on to others, use them as
inspiration for new or revised events and Level-Up Labs, and everything
in between. Often informal, they’re an important part of community
building. We want to hear from you more.

Baking
up a blog roll

There are lots of librarians and library staff
who write their own blogs, keep library-related Pinterest boards, tweet
or share in other ways online. Reveal yourselves! We want to learn from
you and help connect you to each other. So we’re building a page of
links to your pages–a good old-fashioned blog roll.

To add
your site to our blog roll, simply respond to this email with a few
details:

We’ll
organize your links as they come in and hope to post the page soon.
(We’ll announce the address in an upcoming email.) We hope to hear
from you!

Networking (no cables required)

At
SWON’s upcoming Fall Luncheon, we take networking seriously. That’s
because people who have attended past Luncheons have told us how
valuable those conversations have been. Having participated, we
certainly agree.

Since the Luncheon is followed by SWON’s
Membership Meeting (an update on SWON that’s open to everyone), lots of SWON board
members will be there. They bring great ideas and great energy with
them. Join us for some great conversations and some interesting talks on
maker spaces in libraries. Sign up here: http://tiny.cc/makerluncheon
